Vegetarianism and gender identity
Purpose A growing number of publications about vegetarians and/or vegans (henceforth “veg*ns”) report the (very small) number of people who make gender choices other than the binary options (henceforth “gender-diverse”) but drop them from the analysis. This creates a gap in our knowledge about intersections of food and identity, which we aim to fill. Design/methodology/approach Our work brings small numbers of gender-diverse people into current r…
How do European citizens prioritize environment and climate issues? The role of the value “Respect for the planet” in combination with education and cultural background
This study investigates whether citizens’ support of environment and climate policies can be stimulated by targeting their relationship to Planet Earth, using “Respect for the planet” as a political value. The study is based on seven Eurobarometer surveys across the period 2019 to 2024, supplemented by country-level data. Endorsing the value Respect for the planet was associated with a higher priority given to environment and climate issues, and …
Comparing the actions of gender-diverse and binary gender youths for an inclusive and green future
This paper addresses an underexplored intersection of youth societal engagement and gender inclusivity. Using a large dataset of young people (15 to 30 years), we could explicitly include in the analysis a small but statistically meaningful number of youths (N= 134) who did not feel they fit into the cultural categories of “women” and “men” (henceforth “gender-diverse people”). The aim of the analysis was to compare self-identified gender-diverse…
Measuring gender diversity in public surveys
Citizens and conspiratorial anti-science beliefs
This article aims to clarify citizens’ responses to conspiratorial anti-science beliefs (e.g. “The cure for cancer exists but is hidden from the public by commercial interests”). Based on Eurobarometer 95.2 (Spring 2021, 38 countries), we examine how public opposition or support for conspiratorial anti-science beliefs is related to individual- and country-level variables. There were large differences between the countries in their opposition or s…
Pro-environmental food practices in EU countries strongly suggest mutually reinforcing improvements in gender equality and environmental sustainability
This paper seeks to understand how pro-environmental food practices among women and men in the EU can be supported by considering the interlinkages between gender equality and environmental sustainability. A special aspect is that the role of gender equality is interpreted in terms of Schwartz's theory on national cultural values, which relates gender equality to cultures that emphasize intellectual autonomy and egalitarianism. The paper investig…
Considering how farm animal welfare concerns may contribute to more sustainable diets
This paper investigates how consumers can be guided towards healthy diets from sustainable and more animal-friendly food systems, in times when no single food system can be considered the best. In order to provide an alternative, the paper focuses on how farm animal welfare concerns can be translated into potential consumer goals, inspired by the "Three Rs" principles of Replacement, Reduction and Refinement, originally developed to systematicall…
Do EU consumers think about meat reduction when considering to eat a healthy, sustainable diet and to have a role in food system change
This paper aims to highlight the position of meat reduction in what EU consumers think "eating a healthy and sustainable diet" involves and who has a role to play in achieving food system change. The data are based on the Eurobarometer 93.2 survey (mid 2020). The participants were asked to make their own selections out of a variety of food-related items and actors, linked to meat ("Eating meat less often") and other aspects of diets ("Eating more…
Limiting vs. diversifying patterns of recommendations for key protein sources emerging
Purpose A shift to a healthy and sustainable diet (as recommended by the EAT Lancet Commission) needs to have a strong societal legitimation. This makes it relevant to investigate to what extent countries are using their Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs) in ways that can stimulate such a shift. Design/methodology/approach Given the pivotal role of protein, the authors examined what patterns of protein-related recommendations are used to guide…

Fish as an alternative protein – A consumer-oriented perspective on its role in a transition towards more healthy and sustainable diets
Fish has several benefits that make it a desirable part of a healthy diet. It is also a high-protein product that can be used as a relatively efficient meat replacer. Both from a health and sustainability perspective, however, it is important to consider the optimum number of fish servings per week and to examine whether fish and plant protein can be brought under the same heading of alternative protein sources. To explore the consumer perspectiv…
